MIR. Dickinson.s Democracy.

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
In . late issue you criticise the appoint.
ment as Postmaster General of Mr.. Don. NJ.
Dickinson, of Michigan, on the ground CT
his having written o letter some fifteen
years ago in which, in his disgust over the
defeat of Greeley for the Presidency
Greeley, for whom you and l both voted
or at least over his treatment by the demo-
cratic party and un'imely death, be declared
he would never again vote or oct with that
party. 1t does not appear how long be
made good this profession, though it is Ger
tain he did not adhere to it 10 recent years,
and has long been a democrat in good and
regular standing
Now, without stopping 10 inquire whelL-
er real importance should he attached to
Mr.. Dckinson's letter, anyhow. it seems to
me that any organ of the Virginia democra-
cy tso called )-even the Alexandria GA
zETTE, generally SO true 10 the real princi-
Piles of this national party-should be the
last to challenge it.
Mr.. Dickinson was, or a. least avowed
himself, disaffected dozen years ago when
issues differed much from those of to day.
The party in Virginia now has scarce rightto
call itself democratic at all and both in the
Roanoke platform and in the legislature ip
Richmond this week has so arrayed itself
that no member of it, as thus reflected,
could possibly be called by President Cleve-
land to his cabinet.
The President in bis message on Tuesday
urges tariff for revenue only and discountc-
nances any change in internal taxation.
The Virginia House Of Delegates on
Thursday, with but one dissent, favors the
unconditional repeal of all internal revenue
taxation and the consequent retention OF
the obnoxious tariff Under these circum-
stances it seems 10 me that Mr.. Dickinson,
in spite of his letter, will pass muster much
better than any man that voted for that
resolution, and doubt not is really as true
3 democrat as the editor OF the GAzETTE or,
az his obedient servant, l. NJ 3

RAILROAD MATTERs.-A dispatch from
New York, say
The directors of the Richmond Terminal
Company on Saturday resumed their at
tempts at making up slate for the Rich
mond and Danville election. but without
success They have therefore ordered that
the Richmond and Danvile annual meeting
be postponed until the 2lst ii slant. The
office of y, esident was rendered to John H.
Inmar, but he positively declined TO accept
it, and no selection has yet been made.
George S ScoLts name has peen mentioned
in connection with this office. The Ter
mina dire ctors also in truc'ed the dire ctors
of the Richmond and Danvile to declare a
dividend of 5 per cent, upon the stock of
that company and determined to declare
semi annual dividend of p per cent. upon
the stock of the Terminal.
1.-THE Terminal election will be held to
morrow. President Sully's annual report
was discussed and sent 10 the printers. In
this report. it is sa'd, Mr.. Sully recommends
that the Richmond and Danvlie Company
have executive officers separate and distinct
from those of he Terminal company.
ut has been rumored in Wall street that
R. P. Fl.wer and William Rockefeller had
sold their Terminal stock and that thew had
decided not to go into the Board OF Direc-
tors.
'One of the officers of the TIE minal com.
any said that thedirectors had not received
any notice from these gentlemen ofany such
decision on their part, aud that their names
still remained or the committee app inted
at the conference held a. the Windsor Hotel
week ago. 1t was, however. generally
believed on the street and at the Windsor
Hotel that tn. Sc gentlemen would decline
to become die ,tois in either the Terminal
or Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany,"

COUPONS.

The following is the circular relating to Viz
ginia coupons. issued by Mr.. ]. P. Cooper, agent
for the English bondholders:
OIL E. MAIN ST., RICHMOND, VA,
December 9th, 1887.
Dear Sir:-In view of the recant decision of tho
Supreme Court, think it proper to advise you
of what propose to do in the future.
| wish to inform every ono who has bought
coupons with my guaranty, that the guaranty will
be acted up to. to the letter, long those who
purchased the coupons stand up TO their side of
the contract They agree to tender coupons for
their taxes and agree to save them harmless. 1
desire that every person who has rendered coupons
will disregard the threats of the States officers, of
suit arrest or other molcstation.
If suits are brought against them under what
is propularly known as the Coupon Crusher,"
they should disregard the suit and psy no atten-
tion to it, Let judgment so against them by de.
fault. If the sheriff comes to them with an exc
cuton for the judgment, let them tender to him
the exact amount of what he. claims in coupons,
or in coupons and currency. If he refuses the
tender and levies and sells, let them buy in their
property at the sale, and report the facts to me.
will at once have suit instituted in the United
States Court for damages for the SALE must in
sist that all purchasers Of coupons with my guar
ranty shall stand up to their side of the contract
of indemnity, as shall stand up to mine.
Net, this-If the tax before the suit was $50.
and the taxpayer had rendered $50 coupons,
and the costs of the suit under the Coupon Crush
err had been So, let him tender the sheriff who
has the execution two $50 coupons and $15 in
money; or the figures and proportions to suit any
case.
Some persons think that the recent decision of
the Supreme Court has destroyed the right of
tarties t. stand on a tender of coupons aud re-
cover damages from States officer who under
takes to interfere with that right. 1t has done no
such thing hut has expressly affirmed it. 1t has
let our right to recover damages from amy State s
officer who molests us in any way after a tender
of coupons, inst as it was before
